I'm doing an MTG rip off. What's a good name for an ability that works exactly like "Regeneration", but that feels a little less like you're being re-patched and more like you've skillfully dodged a hit?

Did this need a whole thread? Just look up 'dodge' in a thesaurus and pick something you like. 'Cheat' might be fun, as in cheating death

ITT: I keep shilling glyphs until someone wants to
play an ad-lib game. I'm going to challenge myself to make an "interesting" connection between glyphs of different types.
Tree Imp Shaman
Tree(Plant){Dark}(Plant){Dream}(Plant)Tree
-Consume one buried or held |wind| you control: Move any number of cards from one _Tree_ to another _Tree_.
-Steal one held card from an opponent's stack and put it in your hand.
>I am thinking of giving each card an obscure support or defensive ability, and then also an obscure offensive ability. I guess this will be the common card format.
>2 basic tree glyphs is indicative of size. You'll see cards interact with tree glyph counts in a size like manner.

What the fuck is Glyphs?
Carpenter Lumberjack
( Axe ){Tree}{Axe}{Smith}{Tree}( Smith )
-Capture target |Tree| of 4 or less |Tree|s
-Summon [Tree]|Mechanical| with up to 4 [Tree]s
>(Axe) & (Smith) doesn't mean they are composed of "axe" life and "smith" life. Axe and Smith inside of (life point containers) will only ever be used for targeting.

A game I'm trying to flush out.
Craftsmen's Hermit Assistant
{smitih}{smitih}{smitih}(Smith){smitih}{smitih}{smitih}
-Multiply a |Smith| build by 3.
>|Smith| build is an interface for the Carpenter LumberJack's 2 ability. For me, it's implied there's some type of interface there. I am ad-libbing this. But "interfaces" exist to work with abilities. Interfaces are like "Label" that mark glyphs, patterns & numbers in an ability.

I'll give you a bump if only because that's the most pathetic thing I've ever read on this board.

Bruh. Get your shit together.
If anyone has or can point me to a collection of PDFs for the Chronicle system or ASOIAF's Dragon's Hoard, I would be eternally in your debt. I am looking at buying it right now in pdf format, but I'd really rather not have to.
I found almost every other book aside from Dragon's Hoard and several of the Chronicle system PDFs here, but I can't navigate or figure out Da Archives well enough to find the one's I am missing.

I need futuristic diving suits and submarines. Prefer things that look closer to power armour than wet-suits, but anything that could conceivably be used underwater is fine.

How much carte blanche does a military dictatorship/despot's soldiers get when it comes to killing civilians or would be dissidents in a fictional setting like GoT or Warhammer?
>>54117915
As much as the writer decides I would imagine.
>>54117915
All of it. They have all the white cards.
>>54117915
In the latter, so long as the tithes are given he can kill however the fuck many he wants.
Why doesn't anyone on this board discuss board games? It's only card games, miniature-based stuff and paper rpgs. Let's start a boardgame thread. What were your latest purchases? I just got Istanbul. Played about 7 games in all player counts and it just works wonderfully in all of them.
i like some board games but their static and encapsulated nature makes me feel like i find the optimal strategy for them pretty quickly.
Anyone play The Three Pillars? It's a paranormal-themed card game developed by paranormal investigator Brian Cano.
In The Three Pillars, you and your opponent play as competing paranormal investigators. You start a game with a hand of five cards plus three character cards: Psychic, Scientist and Skeptic, all with their own unique abilities.
At the center of the table are three different cards representing sites of paranormal activity which you'll investigate. You send in one character for each site and must close that case before you can move on. Each character may only be used once, so you must choose wisely.
The object of the game is to close all three cases by racking up enough evidence for each site. To rack up evidence, you must play special cards that give you points in values from 1 - 5. For each case you close successfully, you will earn a reward card which gives you a special benefit on your next site.
The game works by drawing one card from the top of the deck at the beginning of each turn. You may only play one card per turn. Neither you nor your opponent may carry more than 5 cards per hand, so at the end of each turn, you might have to strategically discard one from your hand.
What's even trickier? In order to start investigating paranormal activity, you first must get on the case with a special "on the case" card. Only after playing that coveted "on the case" card may you then start racking up evidence. You will find it may take several rounds and lots of discards before you can get on the case.
To prevent your opponent from closing the case, you may play misfortune cards on him. These range anywhere from demonic possession to mechanical failure. These misfortune cards can keep him in stasis until he can draw a certain card which puts him back in action. You can even get your foe off the case with a special card, which will require him to play an "on the case" card to pick up where he left off. Of course, your opponent can dish out the same misfortune cards to you, so be prepared to tactfully discard anything which will be of no value. I found myself throwing out evidence cards since I was in stasis for a long ass time.
Seems convoluted? Once you start playing, the game becomes much more fast-paced. Inevitably, you will exhaust the pile, so after drawing the last card, both you and your opponent will discard your hands, reshuffle and start a new pile from which you will draw a fresh hand.
This gent here goes into detail on how the game is played:

holy shit this was some good book. after dark imperium i checked this one out and its even better. think no novel made blangels more alive before. now i want to check out lemartes and the newer mephiston book but somehow iam scared the writers suck compared to haley.

Thank fucking you.

We're going to need both Carter and McKay for this one.
>>54117553
>Carter
I can only assume you mean Randolph. He'd fit into this setting better than Stargate's Carter.
>What to the naked eyes of the explorers resembles a barren, sterile moonscape. When seen though cameras or other artificial means, everything appears biologically alive. Craters become orifices, mountains turn into limbs, etc. No way of figuring out if the artificial or the natural perception are incorrect.
Anon, who know such stuff? Expect GURPS.
>>54117261
What exactly are you wanting? RPGs about the ships, the sailors? Realism, pulp? What?
Why not GURPS?
>>54117261
ALWAYS expect GURPS
>>54117261
There are some pretty good Naval wargames that will do better
GURPS kinda' sucks for vehicle combat
Moo hoo

Been running a game for over a year, the party just this week discovered they had been victims of manipulation by the big bad the ENTIRE game.
They get sent off to war as recruits? HE wrote up the declaration of war
They make themselves out to be heroes?
They get sent to recover a big war ending weapon. If they fail, they die. If they succeed, he gets the gun
Then, they get pressured into setting off the big bad gun; it kills a lot of Innocents.
HE uses the opportunity to usurp the throne and cause a revolt! And now they are either pretenders who jump HIS claim of defeating the enemy, or they're the big evil dicks who killed all the Innocents if they can prove they did it!
The party are LIVID
Have you ever had a plot go off so well?
>>54117157
>control every aspect of a fictional world except 5 people
>things go the way you want them to
What a surprise. Do you want a gold star?
I did have a plan go off once, but it was just a simple situation, a bunch of guys in a building they have what I want and me and my two friends do it well.
doors are booby trapped, heads are sniped and the infiltrator slits a throat and got out, it was fun.
>>54117361
ill have the star if he doesn't take it
